Sounds like a fun idea! Have you heard the musician S.J. Tucker? She's got an album of pagan music, with a song about an April Fool's Day ritual. You can read the lyrics and buy here: http://music.skinnywhitechick.com/album/blessings

Thanks for the advice :) Perhaps beforehand I'll go flying kites or something Spring related to tap into my inner child.
